Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] At present, in the production process of spectroscopic standard samples, there are more researches and reports on fixed value analysis, and less researches on production process, especially the pre-forging heat treatment process of high-carbon steel. The uniformity of elements such as C and S in the high-carbon steel spectroscopic standard samples on the market is poor, and some high-carbon steels have high requirements for composition accuracy. The common spectroscopic standard samples cannot meet the requirements. High-carbon steel is a kind of steel containing a high percentage of carbon and a small amount of other elements. The high-carbon content makes this kind of steel more solid and harder than other types of steel, and it is often used to manufacture tools such as knives and abrasives. Compared with ordinary low-carbon steel, the ingot of high-carbon steel is more prone to defects such as coarse grains, segregation, porosity and pores, and white spots are also easy to form after forging. Using the existing production process of high-carbon steel spectroscopic standard samples, the ingot is forged into a rod, and the element distribution in the rod is uneven, resulting in poor uniformity of alloy elements in the finally prepared high-carbon steel spectroscopic standard sample, which seriously affects the quality of the spectroscopic standard sample.
